All Abilities Playspace in Mill Park

The all-abilities play space recently opened at the Mill Park Recreation Reserve in Morang Drive.

It is one of four major community parks to be constructed in the City of Whittlesea. 

The play space has been designed to include all infrastructure, equipment and facilities where all members of the community, regardless of their age or physical/cognitive ability, can feel supported and welcomed to spend an extended amount of time.

The new play space has a focus on ensuring all people can access the entire space through the inclusion of uninterrupted paths and access to all play elements, services and infrastructure.  Every part of the play space has been thoughtfully designed to promote inclusivity for all ages and abilities whilst facilitating development, both physically and cognitively, through play.  

For further information, phone Council on 9217 2170 or email parks@whittlesea.vic.gov.au.

Norris Bank Reserve in Bundoora

Norris Bank Reserve in McLeans Rd Bundoora is a beautiful 10.3-hectare open space located on the north bank of Darebin Creek.

The park has recently undergone an upgrade to construct a major community play space incorporating:

  • 6m high play tower with slides , monkey bars, rope play and interactive elements
  • Upgraded picnic facilities
  • Water play
  • A beginner’s skate/ scooter loop

The park also has a Liberty Swing for people in wheelchairs.

There is a Changing Places facility located at the park.

The reserve also has a number of walking tracks and a dog off-leash area incorporating a drink fountain with integrated dog bowls, litter bins, bench seats and fencing.

 

Master Locksmith Association Key (MLAK)

Access to the liberty swing and changing places facility at Norris Bank Reserve in Bundoora requires a Master Locksmith Access Key (MLAK).  

The MLAK system is an initiative that allows people with a disability access to dedicated public facilities, including facilities in National Parks and many Council municipalities, elevators at railway stations, the Changing Places facilities throughout Australia, disabled toilets that are locked, and the Liberty Swing.

You can obtain your own MLAK locally by emailing leisure@whittlesea.vic.gov.au.

Changing Places Facilities

Changing Places Facilities are designed for people with severe and profound disabilities. These facilities differ from standard accessible or disabled toilets as they include additional features such as an adult change table, hoist, shower, screens and large circulation spaces.
